Friends, it's time for me to go. I've enjoyed my '09 HCH, and the great camaraderie here. The HCH has given me a lifetime average 42+ MPG. But I bought a new car yesterday, and so will quietly disappear from this forum, at least until my next hybrid comes along.

Contact me if you know anyone who is looking for a well-maintained car like mine in SoCal, still in perfect condition with 39K miles, with no cosmetic or mechanical issues whatsoever. It has been impeccably well serviced and maintained, with many years/miles of IMA warranty remaining.

Be well, and many thanks!
Steve

 

Aww. I knew this was coming.
Sorry to see you go.

So, what's your new car?

 

Hey, buddy. Don't make leaving harder than it is!

Just need a two-seater now... picking up a new Miata GT w/power hardtop, 6-speed. Will be my third Miata.

 

Nice! We have a Mazda in the family too, so I know how fun they are to drive.

Best of luck with the new car, and happy travels, Steve!

 

Thank you, Gairwyn. See you at miata.net ("Car Talk" is an excellent and lively general (not OEM specific) subforum that you or anyone might enjoy. Stay cool, amigo! I'll be around here until my car sells, and maybe even after just to keep an eye on things, hehe.

 

I've always appreciated your posts, Steve. Good to know you and best wishes on your new car! -ag

 

Thanks, and likewise! Picked up the new car, and got 38.4 MPG on the 140-mile trip home. Not bad for its first outing. Here are a couple of pics...

 

Pics didn't show up, Steve.

Or does your new car have that "stealth" feature that makes it invisible... ?



38.4 mpg sounds promising!

 

Nice car, GLWS!

 

Funny, I can see them. Check again. Maybe only hybrid pics are visible on this site.
